The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 53 Only One Can Stand Out
Ganlu Palace had been sending people to secretly keep an eye on Jiangyunxuan, and they would hurry back to report as soon as they got the news.

The Crown Princess was leisurely trimming the branches of the potted flowers. Manager Yin walked over quickly and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Highness is indeed as good as a god. The Crown Prince gave Yue Fengyi a good scolding in Jiangyun Pavilion and also punished him with house arrest for half a month, which made Yue Fengyi reflect on his mistakes."

The Crown Princess couldn't stop smiling. She reached out and gently stroked the gorgeous peony petals. "This flower is in full bloom, but it's a pity... only one can stand out."

As soon as he finished speaking, another beautiful peony flower in the pot had its stem ruthlessly cut off and fell into the mud.

Manager Yin looked at the flower with a trace of regret in his eyes, "Your Majesty is right, among all the flowers competing for beauty, only one can stand out.

Yue Fengyi didn't understand this truth, and he deserved this fate."

The Crown Princess put down the scissors and took her hand, "It's fine if you just say this in front of me!"

"Don't worry, Madam. I understand." Manager Yin turned around and took the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup from the little palace maid. "Madam, this is chilled Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. It's perfect for cooling off and quenching thirst."

Thinking of the Crown Prince who was in a bad mood, Qi Zhaoying's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she placed the bowl of soup on the table. "Go find a food box to pack it up. I have to go to Chongming Palace."

Manager Yin winked at the little palace maid and said with a smile, "If Your Highness knew that the Queen always cared about you, he would probably be touched."

The Crown Princess held a handkerchief in her hand and smiled softly, "You are the only girl in the entire Ganlu Palace who is so bold that you even dare to make up stories for me."

"It's because Your Majesty is so kind to the servants below. Otherwise, how dare I say this in front of Your Majesty?"

While Manager Yin was chatting and joking with the Crown Princess, he packed up the food boxes.

Chai Hui, who was guarding outside Chongming Palace, was a little surprised when he saw the Crown Princess' sedan chair from afar, and muttered quietly: "This is really a rare thing~"

With the support of Manager Yin, Qi Zhaoying appeared in front of the Chongming Palace with a graceful demeanor as she put on her red satin and pearl-embroidered shoes.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Crown Princess. I wonder what wind has brought you here?" Chai Hui had a big smile on his face and hurried forward to pay his respects.

"It's been a long time since we last met, and Eunuch Chai is still so interesting to talk to. I wonder if Your Highness is in Chongming Palace. I specially brought some iced sweet soup." The Crown Princess spoke with a smile and was polite to eunuchs like Chai Hui who served her.

Chai Hui quickly invited the people to the shade in front of the palace, "Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. Allow me to go in and report to Your Highness."

Manager Yin nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Xiao Chai."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Chai Hui declined and walked into the palace holding the whisk in his hand.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reading the memorials. Seeing him hesitating, he asked, "Did Snowball bite your tongue? Can't you speak anymore?"

Chai Hui cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is outside the palace. She said that she saw that Your Highness worked day and night and was very tired, so she sent you some sweet soup to clear away the heat and relieve the summer heat."

The prince snorted coldly and did not answer.

Chai Hui tried to persuade her again: "Your Highness, she is the Crown Princess after all!"

"You bastard, you are the only one who has a mouth and is good at talking." There was some displeasure in the prince's eyes.

"Slave...slave deserves to die." Chai Hui immediately lowered his head and banged it on the floor twice. It hurt just to hear it.

"Do you think your head is made of stone? Why are you knocking it so hard?" A sneer came from the high platform, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually put aside the memorial and said, "Eunuch Xiao Chai has already asked someone to come in, why don't you go quickly?"

Chai Hui quickly got up from the ground and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

The Crown Princess, who was waiting outside the palace gate, had a visible smile on her face when she learned that she could go in.

When Manager Yin saw that Chai Hui's forehead was red and swollen, he quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "Eunuch Chai, this is a top-notch blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment. Apply it once or twice and it will be fine."

Chai Hui took it with some embarrassment, "Then I won't be polite, thank you for your concern, Master Yin." Master Yin waved his hand, "No, we are all servants, there is no distinction between high and low."

As Master Yin turned around and entered the palace, the smile on Chai Hui's lips gradually disappeared, and he casually threw the porcelain bottle in his hand to Xiao Xia Zi behind him.

Xiao Xiazi opened it and smelled it. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she asked curiously, "Father-in-law, why don't you use this excellent ointment?"

Chai Hui's eyes were filled with coldness, "If you want to survive in this palace, don't use the things that others give you out of kindness."

Xiao Xiazi scratched the back of her head and suddenly remembered that this ointment was always carried by Yin. She was the most virtuous maid beside the Crown Princess, and it was impossible for her to have any scratches on her body, so this ointment...

Xiao Xiazi suddenly felt that the porcelain bottle in her hand was very hot.

Inside the palace, the Crown Princess personally brought the bowl of soup to the Crown Prince and said gently, "Your Highness has worked so hard, you should take care of your health."

Although Wei Qingye disliked the Crown Princess, he would also consider her dignity. Since the Crown Princess married him, the two had never had a passionate love affair, but they could be considered to respect each other.

There was nothing wrong with the Crown Princess's behavior, so he was naturally willing to respect her.

He casually took two bites with a spoon and said, "Mm, it tastes good. The Crown Princess is thoughtful."

The Crown Princess mentioned a few words about the concubines in the Eastern Palace, and pretended to casually mention the autumn hunt.

"Your Highness, this year's autumn hunt is less than two months away. Prepare early to avoid being in a rush."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded and said, "Give Yue Fengyi a place on the list of people accompanying the Autumn Hunt, and the Crown Princess can choose from the rest."

After chatting for a few more words, the Crown Princess glanced at the Crown Prince and saw him playing with the tassel of the jade pendant on his waist. She said tactfully, "Your Highness has rarely set foot in the harem these days. Hua Liangyuan has complained about this several times... How about, Your Highness, stay overnight at Yi Qiu Palace tonight?"

The spoon in Wei Qingye's hand fell back into the bowl with a clink. He turned to look at the Crown Princess and said indifferently, "Why, Crown Princess, are you also going to learn from the censors in the court and teach me how to act?"

The Crown Princess was so frightened that she clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand and said, "Your Highness, I dare not."

He was extremely annoyed. His Highness clearly hated Yue Fengyi, so why was he still unwilling to step into the residences of other concubines?

Forget it, let’s take a long-term view on this matter!

"Your Highness, I have been bothering you here for a long time and almost delayed your handling of important matters in the court. I will take my leave first." Qi Zhaoying was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay in Chongming Palace for a longer time, but she knew that if she stayed any longer, she would annoy the crown prince.

Rather than being kicked out, it is better to leave first, which will also leave a good impression of being sensible to His Highness.

"Well, the summer is scorching hot. Princess Consort, there is no need to send these foods anymore to save you the trouble." After the prince finished speaking, he lowered his head and flipped through the memorials.

The Crown Princess was secretly delighted in her heart: Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appears to be cold and aloof on the surface, it turns out that he also knows how to care for others.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Qi Zhaoying had a somewhat timid look on her face, but she returned to normal the moment she stepped out of the palace.

She is the Crown Princess and cannot lose her composure in front of outsiders.
